For doing things like watching a video or playing a game on it would be ok...But: the text that you would see would be completely unreadable. Your TV would need to have a refresh rate (60-75 Hz) like a computer monitor does, and at least component (RGB) connectors. Also see if your TV has connectors like these: VGA, DVI - these would work better than the ancient S-video.

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

Try VGA to S-video and 3RCA cable - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9813. If did not work, you will loose $3 for the cable.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

Won't work. Turns hdmi output to VGA. Unless cpu has hdmi output and tv has VGA input.

Hey Matt, this converter will NOT work for your needs as it only converts HDMI to VGA and not the other way around like in your case. Instead look for a VGA to HDMI converter

I do not believe so, although I have not tested it myself. But VGA outputs usually never do...

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

No. It's VGA to analog connector. But, it does not convert any signal at all. In fact it is useless.

Yes, the unit is intended to be RCA to VGA, and it is not USB powered. However, I must tell you that the unit I purchased was non-functional right out of the box and I returned it immediately. On a positive note, the refund from Amazon was credited promptly.

This device does not require a software driver to work, so it will work with any device that supplies it with a VGA signal no matter what operating system is used. The only thing to be mindful of is that VGA source signal is within the range of the supported resolutions of this converter.

If you are able to run the projector with VGA then your projector is set up to receive VGA. My laptop outputs VGA but my TV receives HDMI, not VGA. This is a converter. It only changes the signal from VGA to HDMI. I don't think it amplifies the signal. I am not an expert, but I suspect the more times you convert a signal something may be lost. If your projector receives VGA as well as HDMI, I can see no reason why you would get an improvement by converting the signal. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" would seem to apply here.

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

Mine worked great to convert my computer VGA to the TV HDMI . I don't think it works the other way

Don't buy it. I did and it doesn't work. I then knew that it can never work because VGA is an analog sign and HDMI is digital so it is required a converter. I don't know why it is allowed to sell it. Save your money and try something like chromecast.

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

This is not a converter, thus is merely a cable to allow two computers to share one monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you need to connect this cable to an VGA output, you need to buy an adaptor. I had to do that since I have two computers, one has HDMI output, one has VGA output. Hope this helps.
